  • Collect music for those in their section who are absent .
  • Verify that 1st and 2nd parts etc. are equally distributed amongst all members in their section.
  • Relay details of what needs to be practiced from the conductor to the coaches.

    Mentoring & Classrooms

    Mentoring

    Members can sign up to mentor green band or jubilee players that need assistance. They are to email the President kaud61@yahoo.ca and put in the subject “Mentoring” and include what you can assist with. Mark Hiscox will contact you if he has someone to match you up with.

    Use of classrooms

    The Board has budgeted to pay for the use of classrooms for sections to rehearse without a coach. These will be available on the weeks a Band has coached sectionals (see calendar above) and in the hourly time slots they are not being used for coached sectionals. Here are the date and time slots available. Email the President kaud61@yahoo.ca and put in the subject “Classroom signup” and include what Monday or Wednesday and times, you are interested in booking.
